Description
The Grand Rapids Area Community Foundation’s Annual Grant Cycle provides funding to nonprofit organizations and community projects that create significant, positive change in the Greater Itasca Area (including Itasca County, Hill City, Remer, Blackduck, and Northome, MN). The program seeks proposals that are creative, innovative, and address pressing community needs, while encouraging collaboration, reducing duplication of services, and increasing volunteer involvement.
